The MAX202CDW is a superior quality product from Texas Instruments, a globally renowned company specializing in the manufacturing of semiconductors.
- Type: dual driver/receiver
- Feature: includes a capacitive voltage generator to supply TIA/EIA-232-F voltage levels from a single 5-V supply. Each receiver converts TIA/EIA-232-F inputs to 5-V TTL/CMOS levels. These receivers have a typical threshold of 1.3 V, a typical hysteresis of 0.5 V, and can accept ±30-V inputs. Each driver converts TTL/CMOS input levels into TIA/EIA-232-F levels.
- Application: designed for serial port applications, where it provides the necessary voltage conversion from IC logic levels to RS-232 levels. This makes it an ideal choice for a range of applications including computers, peripherals, modems, and telecommunications equipment. It is also suitable for battery-powered systems, portable computers, and handheld equipment.
- ESD protection: All transmitter outputs and receiver inputs are equipped to handle ESD up to ±15 kV.
- Data signaling rate: operates @ a data signaling rate of up to 120 kbit/s
- Driver output slew rate: a maximum of 30-V/µs
- Package: housed in a 16-pin SOIC package.
- Operating temperature range: operates over the commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.
- Compliance: RoHS compliant, meaning it adheres to the European Union directive on the restriction of hazardous substances in electronic equipment.
